Throughout his life Sinatra was said to be a loyal Chrysler man, and reputedly got his first break in the music industry not because of his voice but because he owned a Chrysler!

The car is rumoured to be the last vehicle Sinatra owned, and offers a fascinating insight into the cost of fame; Frank reportedly spent the last ten years of his life being driven around Palm Springs in this undistinguished (and unexpectedly domestic) 'Town & Country' turbo charged, two-tone 'Woody' estate car, to avoid recognition.

With Woody station wagons dating back to the 40's, this style of car is said to have been one of Frank's favourites. Supplied with the vehicle are copies of the certificate of title with Sinatra's signature, also stating Frank Sinatra's name along with 'c/o Nathan Golden' (family accountant) with the address of 70855 Sinatra Drive, Rancho Mirage, CA 92270.
